About Us: Join a dedicated, nurturing and inclusive Special Needs School committed to providing exceptional education and support for students aged 4 to 19 years old. Our students have a range of needs including Autism, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) issues, and Complex Needs.

* Behavioral Support: Implement behavior management strategies to support students with SEMH needs, promoting positive behavior and emotional well-being.
* Communication: Use a variety of communication methods such as Makaton, PECS, and AAC devices to support students with communication difficulties.
* Learning Aids: Prepare and adapt learning materials to meet the individual needs of students, using specialized equipment where necessary.
* Record Keeping: Maintain accurate records of student progress and behavior, providing feedback to teachers and contributing to individual education plans (IEPs).
* Therapeutic Support: Assist with the implementation of therapy programs (e.g., speech and language, occupational therapy) under the guidance of professionals.
* Team Collaboration: Work collaboratively with teachers, therapists, and other support staff to create a holistic and inclusive learning environment.
* Extracurricular Activities: Support students during school outings, extracurricular activities, and therapy sessions, ensuring their safety and engagement.
* School Environment: Contribute to creating a safe, clean, and engaging school environment, including setting up classrooms and organizing resources.
What We Are Looking For:
* Passion for working with children with special needs and a commitment to their development and well-being.
* Previous experience in a similar role or working with children with SEN is desirable but not essential.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
* Patience, empathy, and resilience.
